洛杉矶渡槽仿真模型（LAASM）由洛杉矶水电部（LADWP）开发，作为洛杉矶渡槽（LAA）系统的运行和规划模型。该模型的目标是分析整个系统，以改进LAA的运行，并更全面地解决潜在法律限制对其供水的影响。目标是创建一个模型，该模型在最大程度上代表了物理系统，并在径流年的每月时间段内运行。每月一次的模拟为系统运行提供了年度模型无法提供的宝贵见解。LAASM的成功已通过在广泛的LADWP规划和运营研究中快速采用和应用该规范得到证明。

The Los Angeles Aqueduct Simulation Model (LAASM) was developed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) as an operations and planning model for the Los Angeles Aqueduct (LAA) system. The model objective was to analyze the entire system in order to improve LAA operations and to more fully address the impacts of potential legal restrictions on their water supplies. The goal was to create a model that was to the greatest extent representative of the physical system and operated on a monthly time period over the runoff year. Simulation on a monthly time period provides valuable insight on system operations that an annual model could not. The success of the LAASM has been illustrated through the rapid adoption and application of the code to a wide range of LADWP planning and operations studies.
